Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 265 Shocking Thunder, Who Is the Shepherd of Yanzhou?

Yuan Shi has to be serious.

With just a few words, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai understood.

Liu Dai's killing of Qiao Mao had already angered the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao's alliance failed, now, the Yuan family desperately needed a victory.

Now the Yellow Turban riots in Qingzhou and attacking Yanzhou indicate that the Yuan family has started to attack Liu Dai.

And Liu Dai may die on the battlefield, or on the street, or in bed, or even in the toilet.

It's not that this kind of thing never happened.

"According to the informant, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are already in Yanzhou, and they may have fought against the Yellow Turban. Fengxiao, should we just watch it like this? This doesn't fit my title of Yellow Turban Nemesis!"

"The lord is not idle, the lord is currently fighting the Black Mountain Army!"

Guo Jia said to Xi Zhicai, now that Xi Zhicai already knew Liu Qing's victory in Hanoi, and the fight against the Heishan Army has become a joke.

What is King Bohai up to?
Don't ask, the question is to flatten the Montenegro Army.

Xi Zhicai covered his mouth and nose, coughed twice, then lowered his head and cupped his hands at Liu Qing, expressing presumptuousness.

"My lord, Liu Dai is dead, and Yanzhou has become a land without an owner. From my perspective, both Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family will appoint new state shepherds, and the counties in Yanzhou will also split into several factions. Once the war breaks out, It will be difficult to calm down for a while, and the Lord can take advantage of this to mobilize his troops, and when all parties are exhausted, he will intervene forcefully, so that Yanzhou will be easily won."

Xi Zhicai put forward a relatively long-term suggestion. It may take several months for the various factions in Yanzhou to fight to the death.

This is also in line with Liu Qing's general policy of taking the state first. As Anping County's tyrannical rectification comes to an end, the entire state of Jizhou is completely in the bag. The next job is to farm, calm the people, and train troops.

In addition to ensuring the full production of food, and vigorously encouraging the development of handicrafts and industry and commerce, Liu Qing doesn't know any farming schools, nor is he a technical nerd. He only knows one rule——

The improvement of tools and technological innovation are basically in the field of handicrafts.

Liu Qing thought for a while, and then said: "There is one more thing to be on the lookout for. Cui Yan sent a letter saying that Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was on the verge of mutiny, and that the army under his command actually controlled three counties. Compared with being too bad, what do you think of Feng Xiao Zhicai?"

"My lord, the matter of Youzhou requires my lord's attitude." Guo Jia said.

Regarding Youzhou, Liu Qing had thought about it a long time ago. Except for the three counties of Zhuojun, Guangyang and Yuyang, other places are not very attractive to Liu Qing, at least the priority is not high.

"This king has no intention of Youzhou, but I am happy to see Liu Yu governing it. If Youzhou is taken over by Gongsun Zan, a bastard like Gongsun Zan, then Jizhou will be in jeopardy!"

Liu Qing didn't want Youzhou to fall into the hands of Gongsun Zan. As far as Gongsun Zan was concerned, Liu Yu was a rare loyal minister at the end of the Han Dynasty and won the hearts of the Wuhuan people. With Youzhou in his hands, it could ensure the stability of the north and the northeast. As far as Gongsun Zan is concerned, although his strength is good, he is blinded by profit and is too aggressive.

Most of Youzhou is connected to Jizhou. If Gongsun Zan controls Youzhou, he will inevitably attack Jizhou. What Liu Qing has to do is to kill it in the cradle.

Gongsun Zan participated in the League, and then returned to Liaodong, ready to make a move, saying that he had nothing to do with the Yuan family, and he himself did not believe it.

And because of Dong Zhuo's recommendation, the imperial court appointed Liu Yu as the Grand Sima, obviously from the Luoyang faction.

The Yuan family probably won over Gongsun Zan and promised him the position of shepherd in Youzhou, which made Gongsun Zan rush back to Youzhou in a hurry.

In today's history, because Liu Qing occupied Jizhou, the dispute between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao was impossible to talk about. Even if there was a fight, it was Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao who joined forces to deal with Jizhou.

"Zhao Yun has finished his mission in Anping, you can order Zhao Yun to station troops in Hejian, just in case something happens," Guo Jia suggested.

"Send another letter to Youzhou Mu. If you need help, you can order Zhao Yun to help." Xi Zhicai added.

"That's the only way to do it now! Today's discussion is here first, Zhicai, stay in the house for a while, and go out more to get some fresh air." Liu Qing said.

Xi Zhicai gave a grateful salute and left with Guo Jia.

Liu Qing watched the two people receding, and enjoyed a private time in a daze.

Qian Ying has almost returned to the grassland, and it won't be long before the news of the Xianbei army gathering will reach Luoyang.

Then Dong Zhuo might be able to recommend himself as Bingzhou Shepherd again.

In the second half of the day, Liu Qing first went to the center of the city to observe the construction progress for a while. Now the surrounding buildings have reached the stage of solidifying the foundation. Later, Liu Qing went to the camp outside the city. It was near dusk.

After returning to the mansion, Liu Qing was surprised to find that Guo Jiaxi Zhicai and Li Wen were both there, Liu Qing suddenly felt that something happened.

"But what happened?" Liu Qing asked.

The three of them greeted the King of Bohai together, but Liu Qing gave up and signaled the others to skip these things.

Guo Jia stepped forward and said: "My lord, the Ruyang secret report, the emperor has issued an edict ordering Yuan Shao to be the shepherd of Yanzhou, responsible for conquering the Yellow Turban."

Forget the second half of the sentence, Liu Qing thought.

"My lord, the news of Liu Dai's death has just arrived, and Yuan Shao's appointment has just arrived. This matter is just as my lord expected, and it has been planned by the Yuan family for a long time!" Xi Zhicai said.

Originally, Xi Zhicai didn't know about it, and was still surprised. Guo Jia, who knew the details of the Yuan family, didn't even bother to mention it.

But Liu Qing did not expect that the Yuan family would be so resolute in making a move, directly appointing Yuan Shao as the shepherd of Yanzhou. In this way, Shanyang County and Jiyin County will definitely belong to Yuan Shao, and Chen Liu and Zhang Miao will also be attached, and the rest are of no importance. On the same day, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, was recovering from his injuries, while Zhang Ju, the former prefect of Taishan County, rebelled with his younger brother Zhang Chun, and was punished by Gongsun Zan.

In this way, Yuan Shao won Yanzhou without any effort. Those so-called Yellow Turbans might help Yuan Shao capture Dongjun first, and then stage a play of Yuan Shao's "defeating the Yellow Turbans and regaining Yanzhou" to stop those Because of the doubts about Yuan Shao's qualifications, Yuan Shao's reputation was further boosted.

seconds!Who came up with the idea!

Yuan's decisiveness was far beyond Liu Qing's expectations. You must know that appointing a state shepherd is no small matter. Even if he is as high as Dong Zhuo and controls Luoyang with one hand, he didn't feel anything when he failed to recommend Liu Qing as Bingzhou shepherd. Yuan Kui fell down. Directly conferring Yuan's children as Yanzhou pastors can be said to fast-forward to the post-Chang'an era when the emperor was a puppet.

Liu Qing stood at the door of the house and fell into deep thought.

"My lord, Yuan's move is eager for quick success. Although it can control Yanzhou for a short time, if Dong Zhuo learns the news, he will send troops to conquer. In fact, Yuan's move will undoubtedly drag Dong Zhuo into the battlefield early. If he does not Confronting the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army head-on will definitely outweigh the gains!"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now I was thinking that I have not yet become the shepherd of Bingzhou, but Yuan Benchu ​​took the lead and became the shepherd of Yanzhou.

The originally complicated situation in Yanzhou was settled by Yuan Shi Dali's miracle, but Dali sometimes ended up in a lonely end.

Whether it is a miracle or loneliness depends on Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo's second round.

"What Feng Xiao said is true. Now that the situation in Yanzhou has changed, how should this king respond?"

"Jia privately thinks that Yuan's move is also beneficial to the lord!"

What?I won again?

Liu Qing doesn't understand, seeing that Yanzhou is in Yuan Shao's hands, how can it be beneficial to me?
"How do you understand Feng Xiao's words?"

"My lord, how do you think Dong Zhuo will feel when he hears the news that Yuan Shao is the shepherd of Yanzhou?"

"Of course it's outrage!" Liu Qing replied.

"Of course! Then Dong Zhuo, who holds a heavy army in his hands, is in charge of the capital, and is extremely furious, when he puts forward his proposal, will there be any opponents? If Dong Zhuo recommends the lord as Bingzhou Shepherd again, who will dare to stop him! "

Liu Qing realized, is this okay?
Guo Jia, why don't you do reading comprehension here!
Anyway, it's a win!

"The words of filial piety are not unreasonable. If the news of the Xianbei army's approaching is added, and the position of state shepherd is added, it must be the lord!" Xi Zhicai echoed.

"Well, the two of you sang together, and if you don't know, you may think that this king is behind the scenes!"

Liu Qing's words made everyone laugh. What was bad news at first, turned out to be Liu Qing's benefit after a while of analysis.

I have to admit that Win Ma Theory is very good.

……

Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo found out the news of Yuan Shao's appointment as Yanzhou Shepherd in the second time, because it was not Dong Zhuo's own news, but Yang Biao's. He had been in Yingchuan for several years, He knew everything that happened there.

The Ruyang matter will first be fermented in Yuzhou, and then spread to the outside world.

"Shizier dare!"

Dong Zhuo was really furious, "Young Yuan Shaoxiao, our defeated general dares to pretend to be a state shepherd, it's unreasonable!"

Dong Min also added fuel to the side: "Brother, this must be Yuan Kai's trick. Establishing a separate court is tantamount to usurping. Now he dares to touch other states, it is simply lawless!"

"I want to send troops to stop it, but can Wen He do anything?" Dong Zhuo asked Jia Xu.

After listening to Dong Zhuo yelling for a while, Jia Xu was finally asked.

"Dong Gong should think about it. Yanzhou is not Hanoi. Yuan Shao may be in a mess in Hanoi. However, the land of Yanzhou, especially Dongjun, is still unknown. When Yuan Shao debuted, he was the magistrate of Puyang County in Dongjun. The familiar situation is no worse than that of Liu Dai."

Jia Xu obviously knew about Yuan Shao's debut experience, talking to Dong Zhuo, extinguished half of his anger.

But Dong Zhuo is halfway there.

"I have general Xu Rong, so I'm afraid that Yuan Shao won't succeed!"

Even Dong Min also booed: "Yuan Shao, Chen Liu Huimeng, suffered a crushing defeat, brother, why do you need General Xu Rong to take this man, I will do it!"

Although Dong Zhuo could not be called extremely smart, at least he was not stupid, so he immediately rejected Dong Min.

"Be a good lord of your army! One day, take care of your subordinates and stop causing trouble! If you want to rob a house, go outside the city to rob!"

Dong Zhuo means: be optimistic about your home, and be less turbulent.

Jia Xu seemed to sense Dong Zhuo's fighting spirit, so he let go.

"If Dong Gong wants to fight with all his heart, it's not a bad idea. General Xu Rong is cautious and disciplined in his troops, and he is worthy of a great responsibility. If Fan Chou, who defeated Yuan Shao, is the vanguard, Yuan Jun will definitely lose his soul when he hears about these two men!"

Xu Rong defeated the Kwantung Allied Forces several times, and also defeated Sun Jian and Zhang Miao's surprise attack on Liang County, and recovered Liang County.

Fan Chou chased Yuan Shao out of his psychological shadow with "single power" in Hanoi.

"Then let's not do anything, just order Xu Rong to be the shepherd of Yanzhou, and compete with Yuan Shao for Yanzhou! Furthermore, there are rumors in Bingzhou that the Xianbei army is gathering on the grasslands and intends to go south to plunder. I will take this opportunity to recommend King Bohai Be the shepherd of Bingzhou to resist the army of Xianbei!"

After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he planned to go to the palace to persuade the Empress Dowager first, so as not to cause disagreements in the court tomorrow.

Externally, Mr. Dong is one of his own people, so he must act in concert!
……

When others received the news that Yuan Shao was going to be the shepherd of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao had already led his army to Changyi County, Shanyang County, where Yanzhou was governed.

In the west of Shanyang County, there are waters all over the place. Going northwest to the back of the economy is Dongjun. The purpose of Yuan Shao's army coming here is to defeat Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun.

For this reason, not only did Yuan Yi gather his own few troops, but even Ding Yuan and Zhang Yang led an army from Jiyin.

Yuan Shao stared at Zhou Mu Yinshou in a daze. This item should be carried by Liu Dai. Why did it appear here?
Most of them were captured by Huang Jin after he killed Liu Dai, and then sent to Changyi.

But these are all psychological activities, so naturally he won't say anything about the Yellow Turban.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

Yuan Shao's words attracted everyone's attention: "All the remnants of Liu Dai gathered in Puyang. I also heard that Wang Gong sealed the city gate. In a few days, Dongjun is likely to fall, so our army should hurry up!"

Yuan Yi took the lead and shouted "Yuan Shijun", and then continued: "I heard that the Yellow Turban Army encountered obstacles in Dongping County, and it was difficult to advance. Maybe some counties are on the defensive."

"Hinder? Defend every step of the way?"

Yuan Shao thought he had heard it wrong, the Yellow Turban army had even killed Liu Dai, yet there was still resistance?
"Do you know who is blocking it?"

Yuan Yi said: "The scouts I sent reported that those who fought against the Yellow Turbans were under the banners of 'Cao' and 'Liu'. In my opinion, it was Cao Cao who chased the Yellow Turbans and entered Yanzhou. As for the 'Liu' flags , should be Liu Dai's remaining troops."

"Cao Cao? Seriously?" Yuan Shao was surprised, why did his old friend have sex with him again.

The last time he was in Bohai, he didn't support him. Later, Qingzhou Yellow Turban attacked Bohai Nanpi, and he sent troops to help the King of Bohai. Chen Liu Huimeng did not participate. Now that Qingzhou wants to take Dongjun, how could he intervene again!
Yuan Shao thought to himself: It must be because Meng De didn't know that the Yellow Turban was at Yuan's mercy!

"Except for Cao Cao, there is no one else!" Yuan Yi affirmed.

"I originally wanted to let the Yellow Turban consume the strength of the Dongjun garrison first, and our army will take the opportunity to take it. If the Yellow Turban is delayed, our army can't wait any longer!"

Yuan Shao knew very well that when Yuan Kui decided to appoint Yuan Shao as the shepherd of Yanzhou, he guessed that Dong Zhuo would have countermeasures, so he had to occupy the entire Yanzhou vigorously and vigorously before Dong Zhuo acted.

The sentence "can't wait any longer", when a caring person hears it, he will know that he is talking about himself, and this person is Ding Yuan, because Yuan Shao urged him to join the army from the very beginning.

Ding Yuan led Zhang Yang forward, clasped his fists and saluted, feeling very uncomfortable.

When he was in Luoyang, he was in charge of Jinwu and faced Yuan Kui. Although he lost and switched to the Yuan family, Yuan Kui still respected him very much.

Now, she is being bossed around by Yuan's juniors.

Judging by Ding Yuan's age, Yuan Shao is not a junior.

I sighed in my heart: "Feng Xian, Feng Xian! Perhaps, your path will be better!"
